Hotels Near Etomo Shrine in Matsue

One of the best decisions we made during our recent trip to Japan was staying at the Ohashikan. We stayed in a standard room overlooking the Ohashi River. The room was large and quiet. The futon beds were placed on top of foam mattresses and were very comfortable. The wifi was very good. The staff, especially James, were friendly and very helpful. Ohashikan has an excellent location. It is a ten minute or so walk to the Matsue Castle and the Castle area which includes Lafcadio Hearn’s Residence and Museum, and a longer walk in the other direction to the center of town and the railroad station. On the first night we dined at the hotel’s restaurant. The Japanese food was wonderful. Even if you don’t stay at the hotel go to the restaurant and enjoy the food at Shosuitei. We opted for the western breakfast which was also excellent, The hotel recently started a bar and grill, The Willows, on the 2nd floor with a long bar overlooking the river with James as the bartender/host. He offers specialty cocktails and superb Japanese whiskies. Its hours were Tuesday to Saturday from 5:30 to 10 pm when we stayed at the hotel. In addition to the local sites, if you have time, take a day trip by train to the Adachi Museum of Art in Yasugi with its garden. When you exit the Yasugi train station there is a free shuttle bus that takes you to the museum. If you travel to Matsue a stay at the Ohashikan is highly recommended. It will help make you visit a very special experience.

The hotel is opposite the jr station and needs to take the underground passage and cross the road. The bathroom in the twin room has a separate shower and does not need to cross the bathtub. There is a laundry room, but the washing powder needs to be bought separately, so you can bring your own laundry ball. Laundry and drying are paid separately, and personally feel that 30 minutes of drying is not enough.

It is convenient in front of the station, but you have to cross the road through the underground road, which may be inconvenient for people with large luggage. The staff felt good. The size of the room was not enough for two people to stay, but it felt like there was no shortage. There were multiple outlets at the bedside ＆ There was no problem with charging. However, there are few storage parts, so it may be a little inconvenient if you stay consecutive nights. It is difficult to put large PET bottles such as 1.5L in the refrigerator, but if you diagonally put them in. I thought it would be okay to stay if I had a chance to visit again.

The worst part is that you have to go up the stairs when you check in. Check in is very happy, 24-hour front desk service, there are many women's 1-time personal items for free (mask, facial cleanser), I use coffee to make bags. Because it was raining heavily when I checked in, I went back to the hotel very early. The women's beds are on a special floor, very delicate and beautiful, and a very good shared space.

Whether the GoTo campaign of the corona pass was successful or for the convenient location of Matsue station, ９ month ４ during the consecutive holiday, it was almost full. Arrived around ６ p.m., but first of all, the hotel parking lot was full and I was surprised to find a nearby private parking lot. Although the parking lot was found a few minutes walk away, I was lightly surprised by the row of check-in afterwards. ３０ more than a person made a row and the corresponding staff was ２ names. In addition to the usual check-in business, it took time to check the temperature (the staff was polite). Some of them are just getting the keys from the outing, but they are patiently lined up in the row of check-in 々, and it is clear that the response to such customers is not able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to There is a shortage of staff at Kuji. It is a problem of manpower management. In my case, it took about ３０ minutes to complete the check-in procedure. Looking back, it seems that the row is further extended. However, it will be repeated, but the front desk staff was polite and friendly. Even if you wait for ２ meals, the price is quite good for ６ 1000 yen or less. Dinner is only set menu (or curry) for corona countermeasures. There are many small bowls, but no quality luxury is required. Drinks are self-style and only soft drinks. If you want alcohol, you can only buy it on a vending machine or eat it outside. Breakfast is half self. It was a form to take Japanese style food on the tray in advance.

Get off at Tamazou Onsen Station and walk for 15-20 minutes. It should be the hotel closest to the tram station on Onsen Street. There are no supermarkets or places to eat nearby. The hotel izakaya will open after 8pm. It is recommended that the convenience store prepare some food in advance. You can take a taxi when you get off the bus. The journey is not expensive. The hotel’s free shuttle bus is in the morning, between the tram station and the hotel. The hotel is a bit old. The breakfast is quite substantial.

I think it's probably once in a lifetime to drive to Shimane Prefecture. In a 1200 kilometer journey, I stayed two nights with Kobe and Hiroshima and entered Shimane. First of all, the employee's response was at home, and I felt the warmth that was not too much. As you know, Gunma Prefecture has stayed many times in the hot spring kingdom of Kusatsu, Ikaho, Mizukami, and Shiman, but I felt that the hospitality of Matsunoyu was exceptional. The quality of the spring was light and similar to that of Shiman Onsen. I stayed for two nights, but what was overwhelming was the deliciousness and number of items for dinner, the number of items that I couldn't compete with in the hot springs of Gunma, and the deliciousness of the breakfast buffet. I had some trouble with the parking lot, but the good reception at the front desk made me feel at ease. Anyway, it is an inn that made me satisfied with Ku 々. It is an inn that I want to ask again if possible.

Although it is a hotel in Yumao Hot Springs, it is also easy to see the night view of the lake, which is a feature and recommendation point of this hotel. Changmao Garden provides guests with shuttle buses to and from the group member Yumao International Hotel. Therefore, guests of Yumao Hot Spring Changyuan can see the evening view of the lake. In addition, guests of Yumao International Hotel can take a bath in the open air bath. I think this is a great service. Yumao Hot Spring ♨️ can cure the rough heel I am worried about. Jade Made Hot Spring is famous for one of the best beauty spas in Japan, which is my personal experience. The old driver driving shuttle among the staff is a great person, like to travel, there are many topics to talk about. As a fellow traveler, I am very happy to see that he is looking forward to traveling to Kanto from the second day of our stay. It is a country of clouds and I have been given a once in a lifetime opportunity. If there is an opportunity, I absolutely want to visit again.

The building is old, but the interior has been renovated with calm colors, and the 3300m2 Japanese garden that can be seen from the lobby is a beautiful sight. The large bath, which is generously paved with agate power stones, is spacious and beautiful with three colors of blue, red and white stones, and there are many washing areas, so you won't feel stressed even if it's crowded. The open-air bath is also large and open, so it's very relaxing. In addition, the men's and women's baths are switched the next morning, so you can enjoy a variety of options. The prices are a little high, but the food is delicious and I was able to relax and enjoy the beauty-enhancing hot springs.

It's the best hotel. The floor is made of tatami, so it's nice and soft. The large hot spring on the 12th floor is also great. Be sure to eat breakfast. You'll regret it if you don't eat it. They give you ramen at night, ice cream in the afternoon after the hot spring, and yogurt for free in the morning. We give it to you. It is close to the ghost village and right in front of the subway station. If you are using a rental car, you can use the hotel parking lot and the station parking lot for 500 yen. It has a view of the sea and the mountains. It is the best.
